SVCF’s Regional Meeting will address economic inequality in the Bay Area with government leaders

Thursday, September 3, 2015

Our annual Regional Meeting event is just a few weeks away! We hope you will join us Thursday, Oct. 8 at the Santa Clara Convention Center to hear our panel of experienced government leaders from San Mateo, Santa Clara and San Francisco counties.

The discussion will focus on the need for unified public policies and strategies to address the growing inequalities within our region. As we all are aware, the Bay Area's innovation economy is creating great opportunity and wealth for many residents. But not everyone is sharing in this cycle of prosperity. For many people, the high cost of living in the Bay Area – from skyrocketing rents and home prices to terrible traffic congestion – is unsustainable.

Please join us to discuss how we can make life in the Bay Area more equitable and full of opportunity for more of our neighbors and family members.
